“Hey, I’ll take you away! There are too many puppets here.” Said Minato.

“Who are you? Why… “

“Naruto, don’t argue, follow him!” Kurama interrupted Naruto. Out of trust to the Kyubi, the latter allowed Minato to take him along to where Ryo and the rest of them were.

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, and he could not look away. It was because Naruto’s Tailed Coat Mode reminded him of Kushina.

Even Shibi was looking at him in awe.

As for Naruto, he was also shocked. What did he see? A young mother?

Ryo saw the shock on Naruto’s face as he saw Kushina. It looked like pure shock, with no excitement.

Kushina also felt awkward as she was being stared at. Uncomfortable, she subconsciously leaned towards Minato.

“Hey, who are you? Why do have a Konoha forehead protector on?” As no one spoke, Ryo took the initiative and broke the silence.

Naruto looked back at Ryo, completely stunned. Kurama inside was laughing out loud.

After he had enough laughter, he said to Naruto: “Naruto, if I’m not guessing wrong, the power of the Ryūmyaku has distorted the fabric of time and space, and brought us back to the past. The one’s you’re seeing are both Kushina and Ryo Yamanaka from the past.”

Naruto nodded as if he knew it. He was sure that the people he saw were the ones he knew. He took a deep breath and the finally pulled out an answer: “My name is Uzumaki Naruto…”

“Mom, I don’t know how to explain it. Let me tell you first about how I came here!”

“Mo… MOM? ME?!” Kushina pointed at herself, and Naruto nodded. It was then Kushina’s turn to be shocked and confused.

After that, Naruto said that he came to Roran with his squad to chase Mukade, a missing nin who escaped to the Roran Ruin. When the latter absorbed the 4th Hokage’s seal, he liberated the power of the Ryumyako. The Ryumaku’s power was too immense, swallowing up both Naruto and Mukade. And the rest was known to the group.

“Hold on! The current Hokage is the 3rd Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, not the 4th as you mentioned. And Kushina sensei is not married!” Kakashi questioned Naruto’s words.

“Kakashi Sensei, you still don’t get it.” Naruto muttered. Kakashi heard him and glanced at hom.

Ryo had his head down, pretending to think, then looked up as if he knew nothing about any of this.

Minato looked at Kakashi and said: “Kakashi, what he said should be true, because this person is from the future.”

“The future? People in the future are so strong?” Kakashi was confused.

“Enough with the future! You’re really my son?” Kushina got out of her daze and asked excitedly.

“Of course! I wouldn’t be wrong about that after living with you for over a decade.” Said Naruto, using the same unique way of talking his mother uses.

Kushina heard his fashion of speaking and her eyes sparkled! This must be her son!

She excitedly ran over to him, hugging him, pinching his cheeks, messing with his hair and laughing very excitedly!

“Hey Kushina ne-san. Sorry to disrupt your moment, but can I ask your son a few questions?” Aske Ryo.

Being a Ninja, who knows very well that tasks come before anything, Kushina let Naruto go and

“Before anything, when did you come from?”

“Year 62 after Konoha’s inception.”

“Second question: did you encounter your target here?”

“No!”

“Third question: When you were surrounded by puppets, did you use the Tailed Coat Mode?”
